sore bottom from poo

[Kalamiphile]

Grandaughter (16 months) has got very sore from brown soft massive poo's which happen about 3 times a day. Her diet is healthy, not eating anything that would obviously cause this,she is changed regularly, sudofed used as barrier cream each time. Tonight she couldnt get in bath as so sore:'(

Any ideas, advice, suggestions?

Metanium!

Always gets rid of soreness really fast!

Has she got thrush?

I would see the gp in case antithrush cream and/or a mild steroid is needed

lots of bepathanen (spelling?) on bottom at every change. make sure bottom is completely dry before applying. can get from pharmacy. we get on prescription as little boy gets thru loads of it.

when flare up is really bad, we use metanium. in between flare ups, we have to use bepathanen at every nappy change to keep the nappy rash from returning. good luck x

If too sore to even get in the ath, I would take her to the gp.

as well as the above good advice, make sure that she's in the right size nappies and that her popper vests (if she wears them) aren't too small as that might exacerbate the problem.

Yep, check with gp and make sure the bottom is competely dry - we use a hair dryer on a cold setting.

Nappy off time will help too, though can be a bit chilly at this time of year I know!

Thank you for all your replies. Would never have thought of the poppers being too tight, so that very useful. Have passed on to my daughter, so hopefully won't be too long before grandgirls bottom is looking better xx
